"Kaname-sama" she observed him with her silvery orbs, analysing his face. He looked round at her, a reassuring smile sliding onto his face.
"I'm fine Kira, but you seem on edge. Is something the matter?" Kaname replied softly, the moonlight casting shadows across his handsome face. The girl turned away, facing the large windows. The light flooded her pale face, giving it an eerily beautiful glow. She was silent for a moment, as though pondering her answer. She placed an elegant hand on the cold glass, seeming to be looking longingly for something far out of her reach. Her eyes closed, her long eyelashes brushing against her slightly rosy cheeks.
"I sense change Kaname-sama. It doesn't feel good either" she turned back to face him, her silvery eyes soft, yet gleaming with hidden worry. "I know you feel it too."
"Hai Kira. But I doubt it to be as strong as what you feel" he said, stepping beside her to look up at the moon. Feeling her gaze on him, he looked back down at her. "You thought I would lie to you? I thought you knew me by now" he said, the smile returning to his face. "Besides, you see through all deception. There's no point in denying something you already know." The girl looked down, her eyes hidden by silver blonde bangs.
"Will Yuuki-chan be alright?" she asked quietly, her delicate voice almost a whisper. Silence swept upon them again, as Kaname tried to think of the best answer.
"I'm sure she will, I would never permit harm to come to her" Kaname finally replied. Kira looked up and smiled. Though her emotions were subtle, her eyes gave away everything if correctly read. Kaname could see she was clearly relieved. But she didn't seem completely reassured.
"You'll take care of yourself too, Kaname-sama?" Kira asked, her hand lightly touching his arm. Kaname was slightly taken back, but could see her concern.
"As long as you do Kira." Kaname replied. "After all, you're the one who protects me." He said, placing a hand over hers.
"Hai, I promised didn't I?" she replied softly. "Without you I wouldn't be here, it's the least I can do to repay you."
"Kira?" he said, with the air of preparing for a question. "You'll be extra watchful of Yuuki from now on for me? It would put me at ease."
"Of course" she replied, backing away slightly so she could bow respectfully. Her long hair spilled over her shoulders, her face hidden once more as she faced the floor.
"Arigatou, you should get some rest Kira. You seem weakened lately." He said, watching her straighten into a standing position once more, her posture perfect. His eyes scrutinised her appearance. At first glance she seemed radiantly healthy, but looking past her breathtaking beauty, she seemed slightly sickly. Kaname's eyes narrowed as he looked back at the window, not wanting her to feel uncomfortable.
"It's nothing to worry about Kaname-sama. It'll pass" she said softly. She turned and left silently, but as she exited the room, Kaname could see her eyes were hiding things from him. The light snap of the door closing shook Kaname out of his daze. Kira was rarely wrong and never confided her problems with anyone unless absolutely necessary. He looked back at the moon, as though the orb would give him the answered he seeked.
"Kira… what else are you hiding from me?"
